Ashley Zukerman is an Australian actor. In Australia, he became known for playing Senior Constable Michael Sandrelli in the drama series Rush (2008), and Jesse Banks in the political thriller The Code, for which he received an AACTA Award for Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama in 2014. He played Dr. Charlie Isaacs on WGN America's Manhattan (2014–15), Vice President Peter MacLeish in the ABC political thriller Designated Survivor (2016–17), and had a recurring role in Succession. In 2021, he portrayed Robert Langdon in the TV series adaptation of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.
Ashley Zukerman was born in Santa Monica, California, and moved to Melbourne with his family when he was two. His father, Moshe, is from Israel and his mother, Ingrid, is from Peru. His family is Jewish, and his parents spoke Hebrew during his childhood, so he grew up bilingual. He is the brother of Science Vs. podcaster Wendy Zukerman, and has another sister, Debbie.
He attended Wesley College at the Glen Waverley campus[citation needed] and began a degree in science and engineering at Monash University before being accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts. He graduated in 2006.[citation needed]
Zukerman began his professional career in the theatre. He had a critically acclaimed role as Timms in The History Boys, directed by Peter Evans for the Melbourne Theatre Company in April 2007.
He appeared in HBO's war miniseries The Pacific, which premiered on 14 March 2010,[citation needed] and in Lowdown created by Adam Zwar and Amanda Brotchie. His Australian break came when he played Constable Michael Sandrelli on the series Rush, for which he was nominated for a Logie award in the Most Outstanding New Talent category.[citation needed] In 2011, after his time on Rush, Zukerman joined the cast of the short-lived Steven Spielberg–produced sci-fi television series Terra Nova.[citation needed]
Zukerman then returned to the theatre, working with director Eamon Flack at the Belvoir Theatre Company in As You Like It playing Orlando,[citation needed] and then two years later in Angels in America playing Joe Pitt. Angels in America won Best Play at the 2014 Helpmann Awards.
He played socially dysfunctional genius hacker Jesse Banks opposite Dan Spielman in the Australian political thriller The Code, created by Shelley Birse. The show received huge national and international acclaim and 10 AACTA Award nominations, out of which it won six, including Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama for Zukerman.
Early in 2014, Zukerman won the role of ambitious wunderkind Dr. Charlie Isaacs in the WGN America original drama Manhattan, created by filmmaker Sam Shaw and directed by Thomas Schlamme.
